CONSUMATION OF THE CHURCH AGE

The Church Age will consummate with the “catching away” (harpazo, Gr., “to carry off, grasp hastily, snatch up) of the church. The Lord shall appear, then the dead in Christ shall arise (resurrection), and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up (translated) with them to meet the Lord in the air (I Thessalonians 4:13-17; I Corinthians 15:51-54; Philippians 3:20,21).
